The fruit was sourced from a selection of vineyards in Marlborough’s Southern and Omaka Valleys and harvested at optimum flavour ripeness. The free-run juice was drained from the press and cold settled before a cool fermentation in stainless steel to retain the varietal aromas. Post fermentation the wine was kept on light lees and stirred to enhance texture and complexity. The parcels of wine were selected by the winemakers and blended then stabilised and carefully prepared for bottling.

Food Pairing: A perfect match for lemon poached chicken and seasonal vegetables.
